Review: The Natural Dentist Sensitivity Toothpaste

I have once been told by a wonderful dentist that there simply aren't any good natural toothpastes. She insisted that many natural toothpastes make teeth more sensitive and lack fluoride. While fluoride is a controversial ingredient, the sensitivity issue is what concerns me most. I took my dentist's comment as a challenge to find a natural version of her recommended conventional sensitivity toothpaste, but I was having trouble finding one in stores. I was thrilled to find The Natural Dentist's sensitive toothpaste at my local health food store, and I was even more pleased when I found out it also worked well.

Pros:

• No Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
• Fresh minty taste
• Significantly reduces sensitivity
• Available in many retail stores
• Affordable

Cons:

• Texture is a little thick

Summary:
The Natural Dentist sensitivity toothpaste is a fantastic alternative to conventional toothpastes. My dentist was happy to hear that it contains fluoride, but it is still a controversial ingredient. Otherwise, the ingredients rate a low 3 on EWG's Skin Deep scale, which is fantastic for a sensitive toothpaste. It contains the same active ingredient as conventional toothpastes, and it actually helped reduce my sensitivity. My only real complaint was the thick texture. I put on a toothpaste squeezer and had no issues since, but it is harder to squeeze out than some toothpastes. The price is about twice as much as conventional toothpastes, but I have seen this product on sale in stores and coupons offered as well. If you're looking for a gentler replacement for a conventional sensitive toothpaste, The Natural Dentist offers a great choice.

Also available on Amazon.com.
